Krasnov Tries To Steal A Dwight Eisenhower Sword From Ike's Presidential Library [View all]

Krasnov wanted the sword to gift to King Charles. The head of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library told Krasnov he was not authorized to give away a gifted sword.

The head of the library tried to find a replica sword for Krasnov but Krasnov was upset so he told the head of the library to quit or be fired.

The head of the library quit even though Krasnov had no authority to fire him.

In the end, Krasnov gave King Charles a replica sword.
